Seeking Recommendation Planetary Magic Resources

[UT_Clownhunter]

Planetary magic has piqued my interest lately so I thought id inquire here. What is everybody's favorite resource they use? Be it a text on theory, practice, or both I'd love to hear everyone's opinions.

I am interested too!

Picatrix, book III in particular. It has that nice sweetspot before astrology became "Jungianized" and well after the metaphysical foundations of the Neoplanists settled in the Arab world.

Lots of wisdom between the lines. Pay particular attention to the rules for calling a planet; for Mercury, it says one would have to be dressed as a scholar in such and such garb. This is of course metaphorical; one has to "dress up" psychologically and meet the planetary power halfway there

Biggest problem with that book is the order he recommends doing the initiations, and recommending not doing Saturn or pushing it off forever. Start with the Moon and work your way up the Tree to Saturn. It'll go way smoother that way.

Yeah, I get that he was probably just trying to warn unprepared dinguses from screwing themselves over, but he does go a little overboard in his warnings against Saturn, its not THAT bad.
